*All I’m saying is, we talk a lot about how the tightrope walk of being a decent human being while White is complicated, but in some ways it’s actually pretty simple"
thank you for this! i often find myself caught up in the "the person who can find a way to dunk on this thing as not being good enough wins" game, and i am working to extricate myself from it since it is such a noxious and unhelpful tendency!
Great reminder, Garrett. Thank you. (We also have a recall school board thing going on. People are on top of the response and resistance, but this is going to be a long, exhausting decade. Worth it, but important to remember all the hysteria we see now will be followed by something else. We'll need resilience in a lot of ways.)
